Thanks for the reply. Backplotting is not what I am trying to do, I know NCplot will backplot a Gcode. Here is an example of what I am trying to accomplish. Take a catalog of picture frame mouldings with various profiles and import the profile data into CAD in order to create a Gcode. I figure if a printer can print the catalog then there must be a way to import the printer coordinates into CAD.
